After announcing that he will run against former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the Likud leadership, MK Yuli Edelstein wants to put things in order and share how it all began - and how he expects it to end.
In an interview with him that will be published tomorrow in the "Shishvat" supplement, he tries to dispel the fog over the move, when there is still no date for the Likud primaries.
Edelstein insists that the decision to go into battle with Netanyahu is not related to tensions with him, but only to the current government.
He also has a plan to abort "another year," he said.
"The only one who can prevent Meir Lapid from being prime minister is Yuli Edelstein," Edelstein testifies about himself.
He estimates that the Likud primaries will take place in the coming year, recounts his personal conversation with Netanyahu, and reveals about the Likud's dealings: The ball, nothing in the Likud will move. "

In an interview, Edelstein attacks the current government.
"I could, after the madness as Minister of Health, get to the plenum, raise my hand - and the rest of the time enjoy life and wait for the wheel to turn. But I'm here not to be an MK and get paid.
There is a country that is meanwhile run by people who have no idea how to run a country.
There are people in this coalition who neither I nor 90 percent of the State of Israel have a common vision with them regarding the future of the state.
This refers to the Islamic movement. "
In the interview, Edelstein refers to a comparison between him and Gideon Saar and pledges not to form an independent party, shares why he calls the Labor Party a "sister", claims that it is impossible to review Likud functionaries, and reveals what he learned from his imitation in "Great Country."
And to those who praise him for showing the courage to face Netanyahu, he says: "Netanyahu is not threatening. I have seen many more threatening people in my life. 7.
So that no one in the political system will think he can scare me. "
